It gives me great pleasure to recommend David Barcene for admission to graduate school. I belong
to a research group working on porous aluminum oxide films at Pierre and Marie Curie Material
Science Laboratory. This laboratory is a research lab at the Universidad Tecnolgica de Panam.
met David about two year ago when he decided to do his undergraduate thesis at the lab on
porous aluminum oxide films. He has studied the effect of anodizing parameter (voltage,
concentration, etc.) on the formation of ordered nanostructure. This meant a ldt literature reseatch
and reading on topics not normally studied on pre graduate physics courses. This experience has
shown his capacity to open to new knowledge (anodizing) and to apply it to his research with
enthusiasm, responsibility and originality. He has shown good judgment and understanding when
he has met with expert in the topic; in learning new techniques and applying it to his results
(electron microscopy, image analysis, and impedance analysis). David has always shown respect
to his mentors and fellows students, sharing his experiences and willing to participate in other
project, beside his and cultural activities we carry on at the lab. He recently participates at a poster
session at APANAC (Panama's Association for the Advance of Science) 2014 congress where he
presented his results. His poster reflects in a clear and coherent way the knowledge he has
acquired and hls contribution to the progress of the project. This achievement is an evidence of his
increasing maturity as young scientist.
For this reason, I considered he will be an excellent candidate for graduate school.
